Noga Ron-Harel, PhD

ICRF is currently supporting several projects in this area of cancer treatment. Meet one of the currently funded researchers below:

Dr. Ron-Harel, an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Biology at the Technion, studies the metabolic regulation of T lymphocytes, cells that play a central role in the immune defense against cancer. Cancer disproportionally affects elderly people, and aged patients are less tolerant to the detrimental side effects of traditional cancer therapies. Her lab is investigating the cellular and systemic effects of aging on immunotherapy, with the goal of identifying ways to improve immunotherapy for cancer in aged patients.
